Well, well, well, the big news keep coming! Following a very successful Steam Summer sale with our previous massive update, today we announce our partnership with SOEDESCO who are preparing ports for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch later this year. That's a lot of machines!Check out the announcement here and a new trailer:It's noteworthy news even if you don't have any of these consoles, since the game is about to reach a huge new audience, and there's more coming for PC owners too. We're getting ready for a big Halloween season 🎃In the meantime, we're celeb

Greetings from beyond the grave! 👋We kick off this sunny (albeit for some of us very cold) Steam Summer sale with perhaps our biggest update yet. We've spent a lot of time during the past few months maintaining the code and optimizing everything we could. There's still room for improvement and we'll keep going, but so far we achieved a massive reduction in size, faster loading times and smoother framerates. The Steam Deck in particular has benefited from a huge gain in performance, along with other nice quality of life tweaks. Plus, an all-time low 40% off!Read on for a bit of technical mumbo

Greetings, Steam community! Long time no speak. It's been quiet in the asylum which, all things considered, is always good news. With new inmates arriving and getting acquainted with the game every month, there's been practically no issues reported and everyone is enjoying a delightful stay in the Hanwell premises.Speaking of which...A year in the ASYLUM!Phew. It dawned on me during the past weekend that it's been a whole year since we launched the game. Unbelievable; these days it feels like we're speedrunning through life. It's not you, things are really fast-paced now. I mean, it's not even

Ahoy there! In case you haven't realized, it's December. Heck, almost halfway through December. You could say this was a special year (it certainly was for us!). I'm not feeling too eloquent right now for a lengthy post, so I'll just say that I'm delighted ASYLUM is out in the open while quite a few of you seemed to have enjoyed the game. Things are tough out there: promising games (good games even) are failing to gain any traction in the stores. As we're nearing 400 reviews —still averaging at "Very Positive"— you could say it was a good year for us, and we're very thankful for that. Your sup

Did you enjoy your stay in the Hanwell Mental Institute? Have you spent months theorizing about the cryptic ending? Are you still wondering if an apparent plot hole is instead a massive clue? And finished reading every sentence of The ASYLUM Files in search for meaning?Then you could consider us for the Outstanding Story-Rich category! 🤩We think Game of the Year might be a little too much, so we settled with a more sensible proposal for you guys.And who knows, now that we're wrapping up this ASYLUM season, perhaps it's time to finally put hands to work on The Scratches Files 👀

It's that time of the year: the month of horror! We're in the middle of the Steam Scream festival and ASYLUM is at an all-time low 30% off. Do tell your family and friends. Heck, even enemies too, because everyone deserves horror!New reviews are coming in and we're seeing a renewed interest in the game. There's been plenty of positive reception to our previous update, so I want to thank everyone who chimed in with thoughtful comments. Today, we'll make it short and sweet: The ASYLUM Files is a PDF document now available for free that you can download and keep forever. It should be part of an a

Greetings, fans of all things horror! I figured it was about time to deliver a proper update instead of glorified patch notes. Heartfelt as they were (and believe me, coming up with all those sneaky movie quotes was a major mental strain), I'm sure you were yearning to feel the warm, albeit distant, touch of a broken human being amidst the pervasive atmosphere of social decay and AI-driven apocalypse threatening our lives these days. So if you're tired of having your butt kicked by a Silksong boss, you may spend some time making sense out of these words... How did the launch go?! Ah yes, the q

Pssst, hey. It's me, your good friend Lenny. This is a very minor program update: New: Improved performance in a number of locations, especially the area outside the asylum and the "Tunnel of the Damned". Let us know if it works better, especially in lower-powered devices such as notebooks or the Steam Deck. Fix: Seems like a rare issue with the film projector in the Therapy Room persisted. To retrieve a reel, just clicking on the projector should do the trick. Hopefully you can all watch movies in peace now. Note: Speaking of which, good luck pinpointing the horror movie quote this time. Buil

Greetings! We have a surprise weekend update. A petit patch. Heck, practically a hotfix. Some minor requested tweaks, and one annoying issue addressed: Fix: Some players were unable to play a certain film reel in the Therapy Room. So, it turns out that a recent improvement to make it easier to manipulate the film projector made a previously rare bug more common. Sigh... But now we can make sure that darned projector bug is squashed for sure! Fix: When starting a new conversation with Bruno around 10:00 PM, he could say some lines that were out of place. No more. Fix: Character names in the log

We bring you a comfy and mostly run-of-the-mill patch, yet with a number of fixes some of you were requesting: Fix: During the ongoing storm around mid-game, rain sounds were very faint when inside the asylum. Now you can hear the storm outside, thus further enhancing the atmosphere throughout this momentous occasion. Fix: Last time we suggested everything should be properly localized now, but some problems remained in the menu. Now it really should be ready, including all achievements in the Steam client. Hopefully that's all! Fix: Following feedback from Russian fans, we reverted the wording

Well, well, well, look at this. You thought we forgot about updates, but nooooo... All of us were still working hard to put ASYLUM in pristine shape!This is a sizable changelist. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's the sum of the parts what matter this time around. There's got to be something you were looking for. All the reports you sent have been taken into account and addressed. We're very close to tackling pretty much all (yes, ALL) of them!The update today is particularly noteworthy because it marks the last of our localization tweaks. All 11 languages should be in top shape now. However, pl

Ahoy inmates! We trust you've been enjoying your stay in the Hanwell Mental Institute. It's been over two months since ASYLUM was finally unleashed, now nearing 300 reviews with a Very Positive rating. I can tell you that everyone at Senscape is delighted with the reception of a game that was a challenge to produce, and as a big 'thank you', today we bring a number of promised cool updates: Trading cards! At last, they're here. Find your favorite characters, all eleven featuring their original concept art. The big cards feature an in-game location that is somehow connected to each character: {

A minor, yet cozy update this week. More quality of life tweaks, addressing your comments. Note that the Mac build is finally in great shape! New: We're Steam Deck verified! Mac: Fixed an annoying issue in which cutscenes would lose sound. Mac: Properly switches to fullscreen now. Fix: Menu pages can now be turned with gamepad shoulder buttons. Fix: Eberschacher's tape can be played multiple times. Fix: Just as well, Hawthorne's tape can be played multiple times, in case you want to relive the horror. Fix: A certain item during a certain puzzle at 12:00 AM is now more visible. Nobody likes pix

Ah, nothing like a Friday night game update! The crux of this particular release involves Steam Deck fixes to guarantee the Verified status, much more readable Cyrillic fonts, extra love for Mac customers, and many more quality of life tweaks. Also, we're applying some small changes to our upcoming trading cards, profile wallpapers, and points shop items following feedback from Valve. We expect to launch them next week and (rumor has it) they're pretty cool. As for the patch dreaded by canines: Fix: Improvement stick sensitivity when using a gamepad. Fix: Better Russian/Ukrainian font characte
